Windoze "updates" have been a PITA since at least Windoze NT/4, and possibly earlier.

call it "sky blue scarlet with purple polka dots", it will still be yellow.

It's metallic yellow, not a green?

Of course not; that takes time and costs money.

And I don't like the farcically high revving and narrow power band nature of a VTEC. Which is about equally relevant to the OP's question.

It's not the rolling radius then. OK, I know your old gearbox was a 5 speed; is the new one 5 or 6 speed? There are differences in the internals other than just 2 extra gear wheels.

Never done either of them myself, but I know Alfasud and Subaru flat 4s fit. The 'suds even mostly use carburettors and Kettering arc ignition.

The 120 will fit for sure. The 130 5 port may fit, and if it does, can be tuned to 120bhp.

As @Wino says, this is the oil level warning light. Top up (probably 1 litre) and it should extinguish.

What size tyres do you have? I may have an idea...

None of which means that the flexi hasn't gone porous in the last 12 months.

Well, I remember back in the day the first mod most people made to a Ford was to cover at least half, sometimes 3/4, of the main beam light on the dash with insulating tape.

Yes. Do you want me to tell you what your car manual says? I mean that's all I know. OK, all right then, that's a brake system fault, quite possibly a worn left hand inner front pad.

tl;dr - They don't know the reason, but it doesn't work with quartz-iodine, plasma discharge or LED lights anyway.

I was thinking GoPro until I read this.

Never heard of "Payen" as a company. Quick Google says it's a trade name of Federal Mogul.

We got that; even so its existence is an acknowledged fact, and there's a fair amount of discussion about it on this forum.

The fuel tank. Not joking; you get worse mpg on Winter diesel than on Summer, and on E10 petrol/ethanol than E5.

Most of them come with a lighter/aux socket connector. My Halfords one is about as fast as a good manual foot pump, and has a built in inspection lamp.

Not even a battery light!?

Brake systems do not have a "duty cycle". That would imply that there is a maximum quantity of brake fluid they can deliver to the pistons. Ok, you can have wheel pistons that are too large for the master cylinder but doing that is bad engineering. ABS cycles the brakes on,off,on,off but faster than you could read that, when/if the system detects wheel locking. A good ABS system, like on, say, a Skoda Octavia, can cycle each wheel separately, and each side of the car individually. Again using the Octavia, where I have done this, as an example. If you brake hard with one side on gravel and the other on tarmac, the retardation is controlled allowing you to keep steering control. If you then steer the car off the gravel without reducing braking pedal effort, you feel the car slowing faster.

Any colour smoke beyond a trace of oil mist from the filler on a hot engine is possibly an issue.

I'm not a specialist in automotive ABS, but I still think I know more about it than you.

What sort of ABS? "Calibration" would certainly interfere with the correct operation of a 4-channel ABS like is on the Skoda Octavia.

Engine oil vapour. Now the engine sounds fairly normal even if it's smoking, so I think you may need a compression test.
